Compared meaning: light in color, especially hair or skin (adjective).
比较义项:浅色的(形容词)。
- fair
Fair is a broad term for a light complexion, applied to skin as well as hair; it doesn't name a specific shade and pairs naturally with "skin".
fair 是个泛指“浅色”的词,既可用于肤色,也可用于发色;它并不特指某一具体色调,常与“肤色”搭配使用。
She has very fair skin that burns easily in the sun.
她的皮肤很白皙,很容易被晒伤。
- blonde 本词
Blonde names one specific hair color, a pale golden or yellowish shade, and is used only for hair, never for skin tone.
blonde 特指一种具体的发色——浅金黄色,只用于头发,从不用于形容肤色。
She dyed her hair blonde for the summer.
她把头发染成了金色,迎接夏天。
Fair and blonde both describe a light color, but fair is broader, used for skin or hair, while blonde names one specific golden hair color and is never used for skin. This card does not cover fair's common meaning of 'just' or 'reasonable'.
这两个词都可表示颜色浅,但侧重点不同:fair 泛指肤色或发色浅,常用于形容肤色,也可形容头发;blonde 专指头发呈金黄色,只用于头发(或眉毛、胡须等体毛),不用于形容肤色。这里不比较 fair 表示“公平的”这一常用义项。
